“He and his wife have become some of my closest friends, and it’s very convenient because we all share the same first name,” she joked onstage at her Eras Tour.

The trio went on to poke fun at their shared first name by re-creating the iconic pointing Spider-Man meme in a behind-the-scenes photo shared by Swift.

Long story short, it’s clear that the three are super close — and fans are obsessed with their wholesome friendship.

Well, this weekend, Tay took the opportunity to poke a little fun at her husband’s past relationship with the Speak Now singer.

Posting to her TikTok page, Tay shared a video of herself realizing that “I Can See You” was Taylor Swift’s surprise song at the Eras Tour concert she happened to attend.

As soon as Tay’s video was posted, several fans immediately speculated that Taylor had purposely sung the song knowing that she’d be at the concert, given how close friends they are.

“My EXACT THOUGHT WAS ‘She probably sang this for Tay,’ one person wrote. “This was 100% chosen because you were there and I love it😂” said another.

“I love how Lautners have embraced the SNTV era and are in on the jokes,” someone else wrote.

Shortly afterward, many users began theorizing that Tay’s TikTok was her hinting that the song “I Can See You” — which features lyrics about wanting a potential lover and keeping it a secret — is about Lautner.

However, others suggested that Tay may have simply been referencing the fact that he’s in the music video of the song.

“I think it's just bc he's a part of the song, not necessarily about him,” one TikTok user wrote. Another added, “guys boy tay was in the video that’s all she’s referring to.”
